Subject: Who is "Lilith" in Isaiah 34:13-15? |
Bible Note: Greetings Rainbow Maker! Concerning the quote you used about Adam, I have one question. If Adam simply means 'mankind', then in Gen. 5:5 did 'mankind' only live a total of 930 years? Or, did all of 'mankind' produce a son named Seth in Gen. 5:3? Or, was Paul wrong in Rom. 5:19 when he referred to Adam as 'one man'? Yes, the word 'adam' can refer to mankind. However, Scripture is very clear that Adam was the first man created. He had a wife named Eve. They bore chilren togther. The lineages are provided for their children. Scripture is also clear that this 'one man' sinned and brought death and condemnation into the world. In an exact correspondence, the 'one man' Jesus brought life into the world. In my opinion, any view that makes Adam and Eve into types or examples only, ignores the historical statements of the Bible and creates some huge theological problems. For instance, who fell? If only one of many couples feel, then how could every person inherit a sin nature, since not every person would be related to the couple who fell? Just some thoughts!
